AntimicroGAME – an educational board game facilitating the learning of pharmacology of antimicrobial drugs. The game is intended for medical students as a supplemental tool to the formal learning of the subject. AntimicroGAME was tested in a randomized controlled trial involving 124 medical students of Medical University of Lodz, Poland. The control group participated in a traditional lecture-based seminar. It was found that both methods improve short-term knowledge retention to similar extent. However, long-term knowledge retention of board game seminar participants was higher than those who attended the lecture-based seminar and the effect was most pronounced within 14 days after the intervention. AntimicroGAME is under patent protection of Republic of Poland (No R.302527 received September 15, 2017).
